that is where they think the sniper was. police did not enter individual apartment units. they were not sure exactly which unit the sniper's nest was. officers thought they caught a break when they got a video camera surveillance room in the building but that didn't work out. >> in an effort to try to see if there was any video footage that captured the shooting, that is where we went to first. apparently their video system room where it's contained was vandalized. >> if the sniper is the one who vandalized that surveillance room, this may be far more sinister planned than someone who happened to have a fire taking potshots at police officers. we did ask oakland police last night, they also had a homicide
